Earlier work on crop row detection were based on colour-based segmentation approaches [1]}. These approaches are generally based on a colour-based segmentation method to extract green colour regions of an image corresponding to crop plants followed by some filtering approaches to remove noise from the segmented image. The Hough transform [2]} is used on this segmented mask to detect the lines present as crop rows [3]}. Existing work in this domain presents case-specific solutions which would only work in a given type of crop under given set of environmental conditions.
